Exam II average is currently 50.8. That is a drop from our first exam. The overall class average dropped from 64.7% to 62.2%. I'm confident that the average will start climbing shortly. Remember if you wish to discuss your individual position in the class let's try to setup a time.



I've updated grades. The overall course % will be the percent I will be using for 6-weeks grades which are due by March 1. I will not be able to have Exam 1 grades completed before the 6-weeks grades are due




Laboratory for the Week of February 28th is Introduction to Spectroscopy in the CHEM 1515 lab manual. There are pre-lab questions for this experiment.

The first thing you need to do to access materials for this class is to complete the Secret Identification (SID) form. Click on the SID#/Name link in the left frame and complete the form.
